An inscription recently discovered at Philippi constitutes the missing fragment of an inscription previously attributed to the walls of Drama. By combining the two texts we arrive at the date of 1077, at the end of the reign of Michael VII Doukas, for the restoration of the fortifications of the Western part of the city, on the initiative of the bishop Basil Kartzimopolos. This is the first precisely dated archeological confirmation of the existence of the site at the end of the eleventh century, which has also been established on the basis of literary sources.
